Carver median sale price lands at $735,000 amid steady late-June activity

CARVER -- Ten property transfers were recorded in Carver between June 19 and July 18, but only five carried a sale price in the registry's records so far, with the rest marked as nominal-consideration transfers, often a sign of family or trust reorganization rather than a market sale.

MARKET OVERVIEW

Of the 10 recorded transfers, five included a sale price, ranging from $558,000 to $825,000, with a median of $735,000. The other five were recorded as nominal-consideration transfers and are not counted toward the price range or median. Based on the raw count of 10 recorded deeds, including both sales and transfers, activity in Carver during this period was moderate; a firmer read on market pace will emerge once prices post for the remaining entries, which typically appears within about a week of recording.

TOP SALES

The highest-priced sale was 6 Susan Cir, which sold for $825,000 on June 22. The seller was Sean Lovell Thompson and Kayeshene Thompson; the buyer was Opendoor Property J LLC. Next was 159 High St, which sold for $750,000 on June 30; sellers Thomas F. Dunphy and Kelly Dunphy conveyed the property to Michael and Katelyn Daly. At 40 Fosdick Rd, the Fosdick Road Realty Trust, with Robin M. Chase as trustee, sold the property to Ronnie Martin Jr. for $735,000 on June 25. The 210 Plymouth St property sold for $600,000 on June 22, with David J. and Andrea K. Olson selling to Tyler Heath and Nicole Antonucci. The lowest of the priced sales, 268 Meadow St, sold for $558,000 on June 30; sellers Michael and Katelyn Daly, the same buyers who closed on 159 High St that day, sold to Emilie Justine Webber and Nathaniel Benitez Pagan.

NEIGHBORHOOD BREAKDOWN

Fosdick Road saw two recorded transfers in the period: the $735,000 sale at 40 Fosdick Rd and a separate nominal-consideration transfer at 48 Fosdick Rd involving the Bonenfant family. No other street had more than one recorded transfer. By price tier, all five sales with recorded prices fell within the $500,000-to-$1 million range; none topped $1 million and none fell below $500,000 in this period's data.

MARKET NOTES

Five of the 10 recorded deeds were nominal-consideration transfers rather than market sales, each showing matching surnames between grantor and grantee that indicate a family or trust restructuring: Peter B. and Leslie A. Lundstrom to themselves as trustees at 36 Great Meadow Dr; Mark and Jodi O'Neill to themselves as trustees at 3 Harvest View Way; Bruce G. and Tamela M. Bonenfant to Benjamin A. Bonenfant as trustee and the Bonenfant Family Irrevocable Trust at 48 Fosdick Rd; Paula Burgess to Peter Burgess as trustee and the Paula Burgess Irrevocable Trust at 4 Quaker Rd; and Scott C. and Lauren C. Gelnett to themselves as trustees at 29 Leonard St. Separately, the sale at 6 Susan Cir involved Opendoor Property J LLC as buyer, an institutional purchaser. One pairing stands out in the recorded data: Michael and Katelyn Daly sold 268 Meadow St for $558,000 and purchased 159 High St for $750,000, both recorded June 30. No bedroom, bathroom or square-footage data was available in the deed records for any property.
